Purpose and Authority
The Dublin ISD compensation system is designed and administered for the purpose of attracting and retaining
qualified employees to achieve the goals of the district. The Superintendent is responsible for the development,
maintenance, and administration of employee pay systems in accordance with Board policies and administrative
procedures in the district compensation plan.

Description
Classroom teachers, full-time librarians, counselors and nurses will be paid no less than the state minimum
salary schedule based on years of experience. The local salary schedule for staff will be determined annually
upon Board approval of the amount budgeted for pay increases. For other employees, the Superintendent will
assign positions to pay ranges that set the minimum and maximum base pay for the position. Jobs are classified
for pay purposes on the basis of qualifications and duties as defined by the district, and market surveys of
competitive pay rates. Pay ranges are reviewed annually and adjusted as needed.

1. The Dublin ISD Employee Pay System consists of the following components:

      Employee “ base pay” per Pay Grades 1-20
      Employee supplemental pay for additional assignments/extra duty
      Employee supplemental pay for acute shortage teaching fields and other shortage fields
      Employee benefits and other employee related costs paid by employer
      Temporary/substitute employee pay

2. The initial salary for employees in Pay Grades 1-14 and Pay Grades 17-19 shall be determined by
   the Superintendent and approved by the Board.

   Pay Grade placement, initial step placement and step advancement for employees in Pay Grade 15 shall
   be in accordance with applicable provisions of the Texas Education Code and the Texas Administrative
   Code governing classroom teachers, full-time librarians, full-time counselors and full-time school nurses.

   Pay Grade placement and initial step placement for employees in Pay Grade 16 shall be determined by the
   Superintendent, and approved by the Board, with step advancement in accordance with rules governing
   employees in Pay Grade 15.

   “Base pay” for employees in Pay Grades 1-14 and Pay Grades 17-20 must be within the assigned pay ranges.

   In addition to “base pay”, qualifying employees may receive the following additional compensation:

              Qualifying employees may receive additional compensation to the extent authorized by a grant(s)
               approved by the local district.

              Qualifying employees may receive supplemental pay for additional assignments/extra duty/acute
               shortage teaching fields/other shortage fields, etc.

3. Employee compensation may be prorated depending upon the number of days employed.

4. All jobs will be classified as exempt or nonexempt in accordance with the requirements of the federal Fair
   Labor Standards Act. The Superintendent or Designee will determine the classification of each position
  based on a description of assigned job duties and the method of compensation. Generally, an employee is
                                                       1
exempt if the employee’s primary duties are executive, administrative, or professional as defined in federal
  regulations and the employee is compensated on a salary basis.

  The Superintendent shall determine the classification of positions or employees as “exempt” or “nonexempt”
  for purposes of payment of overtime in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as follows:

          Employees in Pay Grades 14-20 are FLSA exempt from the overtime pay requirements of the FLSA
           and are paid on a salary basis. The salaries of these employees are intended to cover all hours
           worked. Exempt employees are paid on a monthly basis for the number of months in their annual
           employment period. Exempt employees are not entitled to overtime compensation. Exempt
           employees are paid to perform a job and compensation is not based on an hourly rate.

          Employees in Pay Grades 1-13 are FLSA nonexempt, but shall be paid on a salary basis and are paid
           for a 40-hour work week and do not earn additional pay unless the employee works more than 40
           hours. School bus route drivers (Pay Grade 1) shall also be considered FLSA nonexempt, paid on a
           salary basis for a 25- hour workweek and do not earn additional pay unless the employee works
           more than 25 hours.

          All employees will work a forty (40) hour week as scheduled at each campus or within each
           department.

5. For purposes of this policy, a 12-month period shall be July 1 through June 30.

6. Discretionary holidays for 12 month employees are addressed in the District Regulations Manual.

7. Non exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in any workweek will receive overtime compensation
   at time-and-a-half rates. See item 7 below for detailed description of how overtime compensation is
   calculated if employee is employed in two nonexempt positions within the district. Nonexempt employees
   shall not be allowed to work beyond their regular schedule without prior authorization from their supervisor.
   An employee’s regular work schedule may be adjusted during the week to prevent overtime.

8. FLSA Non-exempt employees who are employed in dual roles such as bus driver/maintenance worker
are eligible for overtime. Overtime for dual role employees shall be calculated using the formula
   according to the Code of Federal Regulations §778.115.
                 “Where an employee in a single workweek works at two different types of work for which
                    different non-overtime rates of pay (of not less than the minimum wage) have been
                    established, his regular rate for that week is the weighted average of such rates. That is, his
                    total earning (except statutory exclusions) are computed to include his compensation during
                    the workweek from all such rates, and are then divided by the total number of hours worked
                    at all jobs.” - Code of Federal Regulations §778.115.
                    Example:
                        o If a person is employed in two different non-exempt capacities, all hours worked in
                             both jobs must be added together to meet the overtime provisions of FLSA.
                                  Employee works as an instructional aide making $8.50 an hour and as a bus
                                     driver making $9.00 an hour. During one workweek the employee worked 21
                                     hours as an aide and 26 hours as a bus driver.
                                         - 21 hours x $8.50 = $178.50
                                         - 26 hours x $9.00 = $234.00
                                         - $178.50 + $234.00 = $412.50 at 47 hours
                                         - $412.50 ÷ 47 hours = $8.78 (Regular Rate)
                                                         2
   Overtime calculations are such:
                                     - $8.75 x 0.5 = $4.39
                                     - $4.39 x 7 hours = $30.73 (Overtime Due Employee).

9. Anniversary employment dates for employees in Pay Grades 1-20 are as follows:

             10 Months - September 1
             10 ½ Months – August 1
             11 Months – August 1
             12 Months – July 1

DUBLIN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT RESIDENCY INCENTIVE PROGRAM

The Dublin Independent School District recognizes that the success of the District depends on the health of the
community as well as the retention of outstanding educators. Educator involvement in the Dublin ISD community
is of great importance to the District. As incentive to reside within the Dublin ISD community, the District offers
residency incentive compensation to qualifying educators. Educator residency within the District will ensure
meaningful opportunities for positive community, parent, and student involvement and interaction with educators
employed by the District. In addition, the retention of outstanding educators will promote the continuity and
success of Dublin ISD educational programs. For the purposes of this Residency Incentive Program, “educator”
means all Chapter 21 District employees.

       The Board of Trustees has granted the Superintendent of Schools authority to develop and implement
procedures to effectuate the payment of the residency incentive compensation and ensure that the desired public
purpose is served.

        The educators who meet the following criteria are eligible to receive the 2019-2020 one-time residency
incentive stipend:

   (1) Employee is employed through a Chapter 21 Term, Probationary, or Non-Chapter 21 Contract for
       the 2019-2020 school year;

   (2) Employee either: (1) physically resides within the boundaries of the Dublin Independent School
       District for the entire 2019-2020 school year; OR (2) enrolls dependent children living with the
       educator into the Dublin Independent School District for the entire 2019-2020 school year; and

   (3) Employee provides sufficient proof of continuous residence or enrollment to the Superintendent
       of Schools that illustrates compliance with at least one of the two residency requirements listed
       above (i.e., for each month of residence, submit a utility bill for a Dublin ISD residence that is in
       the name of the applicant).

        Program eligibility and adequate proof of enrollment/residency are subject to the approval of the
Superintendent of Schools. Eligible educators who satisfy the above-listed requirements will receive a one-time
incentive payment in the amount of TBD (less taxes and other required withholdings) to be paid in lump-sum
form at the end of the 2019-2020 school year.

                                              Efficiency Payment

 The maximum amount of the conditional efficiency payment would be set annually by the board as part of its
annually adopted District compensation plan. Whether the efficiency payment would be paid to employees
during the school year at any level up to the maximum set by the board would be conditioned on available
funding. Availability of such funding for the efficiency payment would be a matter for board consideration
prior to the disbursement of the efficiency payment. The Administration would recommend that the Board
                                                        6
consider whether the existing budget could support a conditional efficiency payment during the month of
December 2019. The Administration would recommend that the following maximum be considered at the
November 2019 Board meeting:
